hey madhavi u just concentrate on study , dont use internet in exam periode

anushree super replies .. kalakitinga.. 

I want to follow these time table and group study as i am finding no time to study as i am doing my articles still. pl join and let us discuss on the each subject, so that we can gain confidence and clear group 2 exam successfully.

kkk  lets do it

erp , bcp .. ch 6,7,8,9, cover more than 60 marks weightage and most imply these chapters are short...and easy to understand..

i have studied them..thats why i can say this by my experience

ch 2, 3 are very very lengthy and difficult

i have to give my both groups...

thats why it is getting tougher..

i knew it would be tough but it is getting tougher day by day...

uu cant do a subject in 15 days...

if we will do this.. than after sum time ... it will wash out..

it is better to take atleast 3 subjects in a day.. 

otherwise ... 

personal opinion

thats why it can be argued upon

hi

my email id is silvergirish @ gmail.com

but i am giving both the groups.

will this group discussion be just for group 2?

Hi Guys

I'm sharing my suggestion on the sequence of chapters for ISCA, along with logic for the same. Maybe you find it useful.

ISCA syllabus consists of 10 chapters.

1. First of all, understand the basic concepts of Information Systems in Chapter 1 – Information System Concepts. In this chapter, you would study various types of Information Systems, and one of them is ERP.

2. This ERP becomes the basis for next chapter i.e. Chapter 2 – An overview of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

3. Having read about Information Systems in general and one of them i.e. ERP in detail, you should then study the various aspects concerned with the development of these Information Systems in Chapter 3 – Systems Development Life Cycle

4. Now, it is important to ensure that the Information Systems are protected from various threats such as viruses etc. So, you should study various types of controls in Chapter 4 – Control Objectives.

5. Once you have studied the various types of controls, you should study how to test these controls in the Chapter 5 – Audit Test of General and Automated Controls.

6. One of the controls mentioned in Chapter 4 has been explained in a separate chapter i.e. Chapter 6 - Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery Planning.

7. For any organization, it is not only important to install controls within Information Systems, but also important to assess the various risks which can cause harm to the Information Systems. Detailed study of these risks is covered in Chapter 7 - Risk Assessment Methodologies and Applications.

8. Various aspects of IT Act 2008 are covered in Chapter 8 - Information Technology (Amended) Act 2008.

9. Controls and risks form the basis of Information Security Policy of the organization, which is Chapter 9 - Drafting of IS Security Policy, Audit Policy, IS Audit Reporting - A Practical Perspective.

10. There are different standards (just like Auditing standards), which provide the guidelines etc for testing controls, which are covered in Chapter 10 - Information Systems Auditing Standards, Guidelines, Best Practices.
